Years of experience
Quality and customer focus
“Jesús Gil Escoin S.A. is a family company founded in 1958 by Jesús Gil Escoin. It has always been -and is currently- owned by the founder’s family. With a long tradition in paper packaging and machinery manufacturing, it has been producing sacks and machines since its creation, and bags since 1994.”
That's how it all began
The company was born as a result of the need of certain manufacturers to pack their products with paper bags, which were previously made with materials such as jute.
The headquarters in Zaragoza was originally a workshop and machinery factory, but later became a bag factory, due to the adaptation to the market and customer needs.
Growth and consolidation
Over the years, Gil Escoin became a benchmark in Europe, acquiring a great deal of knowledge in the sack and bag manufacturing process, as well as in machine configuration, maintenance and the production process from a global perspective.
We have now opened up the market to retail products, expanding our production options. As the company is the largest producer of industrial bags in the Iberian Peninsula, the accumulated experience and production capacity allow us to be very competitive in the retail sector.
Looking ahead
The company’s quality standards require constant innovation and investment in new technologies, which has made the company a market leader in Spain and Europe, where more than 25% of total production is exported.
